Personally I find the functional syntax clearer, and more in keeping with existing CSS syntax. The non-SASS/LESS preprocessor I use uses functional style: */* Defining variables */* @define { helvetica: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; brand-blue: #C1D9F5; outer-width: 960px; } */* Applying variables */* @media only screen and ( max-width: $( outer-width ) ) { ul, p { font-family: $( helvetica ); background: $( brand-blue ) url( tile.png ) repeat-x; } } */* Variable interpolation */* .greeting { background-image: url(images/bg/tile-$( theme-name ).png) content: "Hi $( username )!"; } I've never heard any complaints about typing some extra parens. Other benefits of functional over straight dollar syntax: - Less likely to clash with future syntax changes - Doesn't clash with current parent selector proposal - Potential for inline default arguments (or other mechanism) - Interpolation - Macro style uses -- Pete Boere Web DeveloperReceived on Wednesday, 23 May 2012 09:27:33 UTC
